Hello: I am a 74 year old lady. About 3 years ago,I started to faint for little or no reason. One time I was getting a pain shot and just fainted before I even got the shot. When I finally woke up, they took me to emergency hospital. The next thing I knew they put in a pacemaker with 3 leads to my heart. The Cardiologist that put this pacemaker in, used my right side and it seemed that the leads kept falling out. I finally went to another Cardiologist and he put the leads in again and this time it stayed. I exercise, do water aerobics, and all seems to be OK.
